<p>Hello, I would like to make an announcement in #announce to tell everyone that you are now able to use ```rs on GitHub to highlight code blocks. Is that allowed? I would like to make more people aware of it as I think it can save everyone some time.<br>
Or perhaps #general is a more appropriate fit as #announce seems to be exclusive to bot messages?</p>

<p>Yeah, I think <a class="stream" data-stream-id="122649" href="/#narrow/stream/122649-announce">#announce</a>  isn't really used for announcements like this. <a class="stream" data-stream-id="122651" href="/#narrow/stream/122651-general">#general</a>  sounds good to me.</p>

<p>I would still like to see someone set rust as the default language so you can just use ```</p>

<p>The default can be changed on Zulip. I haven’t managed to convince myself that doing so is worth it.</p>
